Rock Bolt PullTest

The Rock Bolt PullTest was designed by YieldPoint to accurately measure the performance of rock bolts.

The Rock Bolt PullTest system is specifically engineered and designed to test the integrity of rock bolts in underground excavations and return immediate digitised data.

Geosystems supply both the electronics and the hydraulics for the system. These monitor the displacement and load during the pull test. The data is then recorded by a DAQ which can be transmitted to a Windows laptop or tablet installed with the supplied PullTest software.
